Story and art by Farnk Miller. In the Town Without Pity, good deeds and honest men are in short supply. Enter Wallace, mysterious man of integrity and strength. Out for an evening drive along the beach, he meets the woman of his dreams–and she’s attempting to bring her life to an end. Who or what could make an intelligent, beautiful women attempt suicide? What skeletons are cast away in the closet of her soul? And why does Wallace have to fall for her so hard? Comics legend Frank Miller brings us a new, bare-knuckled tale from the hallowed streets of Sin City in this first issue of nine–more if you’re lucky! 32 pages, B&W.
Hell and Back is the longest of the Sin City stories, spanning 9 issues. It tells the story of Wallace, an artist/war hero/short order cook who saves a suicidal woman named Esther. She likes his art and they go out for a drink. They are ambushed by two men, who drug Wallace and kidnap Esther. When Wallace recovers, he vows to find Esther and deal with those who kidnapped her.
Sin City (also known as Frank Miller’s Sin City) is a 2005 American neo-noir action crime anthology film written, produced, and directed by Frank Miller and Robert Rodriguez. It is based on Miller’s graphic novel Sin City.
Much of the film is based on the first, third and fourth books in Miller’s original comic series. The Hard Goodbye is about a man who embarks on a brutal rampage in search of his one-time sweetheart’s killer, killing anyone, even the police, that gets in his way of finding and killing her murderer. The Big Fat Kill focuses on an everyman getting caught in a street war between a group of prostitutes and a group of mercenaries, the police and the mob. That Yellow Bastard follows an aging police officer who protects a young woman from a grotesquely disfigured serial killer. The intro and outro of the film are based on the short story “The Customer is Always Right”, which is collected in Booze, Broads & Bullets, the sixth book in the comic series.
The film stars Bruce Willis, Mickey Rourke, Clive Owen, Jessica Alba, Benicio Del Toro, Brittany Murphy and Elijah Wood, featuring Alexis Bledel, Michael Clarke Duncan, Rosario Dawson, Carla Gugino, Rutger Hauer, Jaime King, Michael Madsen and Nick Stahl, among others.
Sin City opened to wide critical and commercial success, gathering particular recognition for the film’s unique color processing, which rendered most of the film in black and white but retained or added coloring for selected objects. The film was screened at the 2005 Cannes Film Festival in competition and won the Technical Grand Prize for the film’s “visual shaping”.
A sequel, Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, was released on August 22, 2014. Production for the sequel began in October 2012 with Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller directing a script co-written by them and William Monahan. The film was based mainly on A Dame to Kill For, the second book in the Sin City series by Miller, and also included the short story “Just Another Saturday Night” from the Booze, Broads, & Bullets collection, as well as two original stories written by Miller for the film, titled “The Long Bad Night” and “Nancy’s Last Dance”. Actors Bruce Willis, Mickey Rourke, Rosario Dawson and Jessica Alba all reprised their roles in the sequel, amongst others. The sequel was not as critically or financially successful as the first film.
